Tuesday Turn About #261 Summer Food Fun: The party is live and we’re talking food… and more!
TUESDAY TURN ABOUT #261 SUMMER FOOD FUN
Last week’s party, we were up to some shenanigans.
Y’all… I’m so glad you’re here, but…

… I am BEAT!
I’ll explain in a minute, but today’s party is all about recipes, and more! We even have some tips and tricks about food… and water! 😉
We’ll be doing a fast party, with quick features. I apologize… but as I’m writing this, my mind is fuzzy, and my eyes are closing.
Wanna know why???
Abode Adventures
This week and weekend were FULLLLLL!
As I shared last week, I started on my new eating program. I hate to call it a diet, because it really is a lifestyle change. A change I’ve been wanting to make for years. And this program just seems to fit my needs.
The recipes are simple and yummy, and super easy to whip-up in the kitchen. Seriously easy. However, this week I was getting used to doing ‘all the things’ and acclimating to this new way of healthy eating, and by Saturday I started feeling the ‘detox’. A bit melancholy and exhausted!
By Sunday, I was much better and ready to take on the world another week.
Then today…
Today was my son-in-law’s birthday, and his parents and I spent the day celebrating with him, my daughter, and our grands. It was lovely, but tiring.
However, before I left to spend the day with them, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the program, just one week ago. Drumroll, please!
Down 6.4 pounds! All glory to God! Truly!
And then…
Then I had my trailer tanks to empty, laundry to get done, dinner to make, as well as overnight blueberry and almond butter oats for tomorrow’s breakfast.
Soooo, I appreciate you understanding. I’m hoping this week will be much better with prep and adjusting to cooking each night.
Tips and Finds will be back next week, Lord-willing!
Now, let’s get this party started!
Though not a requirement at all, I would be SO blessed if you would subscribe and/or follow me either here on the blog, Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram. Thanks!

How exciting, Julie! Sounds like you’ve been through the tough first week and are reaping the benefits now! I can’t wait to learn more! Thanks, as always, for hosting this fun gathering space! Happy Tuesday!
Thank you, Laura! The first week wasn’t hard, as much as busy. Busy getting acclimating to the cooking and preparing, though it’s really easy!
Thanks so much Julie! Congrats on the lifestyle change results~
Thanks, Jenna! Praying the Lord will be honored and glorified through it. It is all because of Him!
You have been busy! Thanks for hosting, and have a great week ahead. Lots of great features, often there are too many to only choose 3…
Yes, I agree! Or even 12!
Many congrats on your weight loss! Ha! I got tired just reading about your week.
LOL! And thank you, Michelle!
Julie,
I am so curious about your new eating regime…6 pounds in a week! Fantastic!! You go , Girl! I am trying to get back on my own personal program as I fell off the wagon with Joe’s illness and then his passing… I need to start walking again for exercise but the heat and humidity here is doing me in so I need to wait until it gets cooler…
Thanks so much for hosting this charming party!! I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into it along with visiting all the links!!
Hugs,
Deb

Yes, walking is my next step in this change. If it’s too hot, I will go to the closest mall and walk there! My daughter and I do this once in a while. 😉 Email me if you want more details about the program, Debbie. No gimmick, just want to wait to share everything publicly.
Thanks for having us over, Julie. Have a great week!
Thanks for joining each week, my friend!
I am not sure which lifestyle ‘diet’ you’re following, but wow, well done!
Thanks, Julie, for hosting weekly. WOW, thanks so much for the honor and featuring of the Keto Baked Bacon Wrapped Avocado this week.
My entries this week are numbered #47+48
You are so welcome! Thanks for the encouragement, too!
Wow, congrats on the weight loss! I’m working on it, but it’s a struggle! Eating better, for sure. This is the first time I haven’t put weight on that I lost over a year ago, though, so I am trying not to complain. 🙂
That is so key. To not put it back on!
Wow you have been busy! Congrats on your first rewarding results! That takes a lot of determination and consistency – way to go! 😊 Thanks for all the great recipes, and for hosting the party. Hope you get some rest soon!
You are so welcome, Barbara! Thanks for your support, too!
Great job Julie! I need to get my nutrition in line as well. Thanks for the inspiration. Vitamin D is great for energy if you need a boost. I appreciate the feature. Stay well friend. XO- MaryJo
